“The human impact on the environment was so small or so local before the 20th century that modern economic theorists (beginning in the 18th century) developed models of how the world works that do not account for the uses or services to humans of the natural environment” (73). So therefore we are growing economically without regard for the environment because we think it’s not affecting the environment that much because it wasn't in previous centuries but the reality is it’s different now and we need to consider the environment and the economy together, not separately.

Massive deforestation carried out by colonial powers impoverished the land and, by extension, the peoples. At this time, these were agricultural societies who relied on the land for food, so deforestation and planting of crops to feed colonizing nations, which dried out the land not only directly where vegetation was removed, but in surrounding areas as well and took farmable land away from native peoples, led to famine in Latin America.

Flo-The disease that the old worlders brought with them and were immune too according to marks took out “90 percent of their pre-1500 numbers… it does seem certain that tens of millions of people across the Americas had vanished”(Marks, 62).

- The extremely high populations of today's China and India are in part due to the success of their agriculture between 1400-1700. Their extremely efficient farming techniques, as well as the flat, open geography of large portions of their borders, all contributed to this success. Due to the surplus of food and crop, there was room for the population to grow, and thus China and India became large factors in the incredible increase in the world's population during this time. In these countries, crop was currency, and so the environmental awareness of the people of China and India was very high. Their high populations are in part responsible for how hard they have been hit by air pollution issues, and climate change.

Ethiopia was one of the only African countries that escaped colonization by the European states. This does not mean that they were not affected by the European struggle for resources however; they were only able to escape the impacts that this event had. as Marks' telling of the history notes, nothing happens in a vacuum.

We see a lot of rise and fall in population, which also leads to the environmental impacts that the wealth gap has.

I chose Mexico because the article discussed about how in 50 years of the Colombian exchange, disease and genocide was so bad it wiped out I think 97% of the native population which is absolutely crazy to think about for me. -VD

1) Waves of population increase with sharp decreases (Black Death)
2) Advance of Agriculture
3) Much smaller political units formed (nation states), that formed out of principalities, bishoprics and kingdoms.
4) Eventual wars led to consolidation, increasing fewer political units, development of territorial nation states. This development drove out previous forms of power: Land Based Empires.
